Once you have learned the spell, you will be able to open Level 1 Locks. After that, as part of The Man Behind the Moons quest, Gladwin will ask you to find him Demiguide Moon statues. Find 9 Demiguide Moon statues to unlock Alohomora 2. Find another 13 Demiguide Moon statues to unlock Alohomora 3. Then you will be able to unlock Level 2 & Level 3 locks.
